"DS marketing push, GAME situation improving... Daleks attack London"

Today was yet another one of those days where Dringo became his normal loserish self. After missing the bus the Nintendo fanboy went on a journey around the 4 video gaming stores of Cambridge. And liked what he found.

For starters GAME shop A has decided to push "The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords" with nice big TV screens showcaseing the game and the game is prominant on the new releases shelf.

GAME shop B has extended it's Gamecube range, extra shelf space has been aquired.

Gamestation boasts the best, there are 4 large shelving sections filled with GAmecube stock now.

All these and Gametron also feature nice new DS pods and there are ques at everyone I visted during my lunch period. I was also impressed at Nintendo's choice of game. Mario 64 DS, although great, takes time to get to grips with. Wario Ware is more pick up and play and this clever little title which is easy to play and showcases the DS's abilities brilliantly has got many a gamer addicted to it.

GAME shop B is the larger shop and has 2 new releases shelves. One is filled with the latest UEFA game whilst the other is endless boxes with the words "PRE-ORDER YOUR DS TO AVOID DISSAPOINTMENT" and entire gaming rack filled with these promo's.

Oh and Daleks attacked London.

All in all a good day.

I can't see the DS NOT having a big launch over here.

Nintendo really are giving it their all. Now it is up to the public.

My brother was at the local Megabowl the other day and there was a bloke from Nintendo showcasing the DS. There were several playable machines with Wario Ware in them.

Okay, I am not too hot on spelling, or a major in grammer either. In fact, one essay I have receieved back, that was only slightly edited, features blatent grammer and spelling errors. Of which I feel shame.

Still got a high grade mind.

I hope the boxes don't actually say that.

Because that would be a major disappointment.

Ahar.

It is for price, but GAME have far better presentation.

Gamestation is becoming much better than GAME.

I will check for you, no chelmsford is crap

Local Game's in Poole high street. S'alright, but could pay more attention to Gamecube stuff.

Does it still have that though? Because the GAME's in cambridge have just gone and got a hell of a lot better.

My local GAME is in chelmsford and has 2 tiny little shelves of gamecube games. Its pathetic.
